Google investment?

Latest comment: 15 years ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

the google history page http://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/history.html mentions Mr. Bechtolsheim's initial investment at 100,000ドル while here it says 200,000ドル.

The Forbes article states: "German-born electrical engineer invested 200,000ドル in a quirky search engine in 1998. Google returned the favor—and 1ドル.5... " Ray3055 (talk)

More recent Forbes articles say 100ドルK. I think the confusion was because Dave also invested the same, for a total of 200ドルK between the two of them. Should be clarified now. W Nowicki (talk) 16:34, 11 April 2011 (UTC) Reply

hmm interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercury888 (talkcontribs) 09:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC) Reply

If the source article was changed, that would imply they originally got it wrong and later corrected themselves. If the current version of the article does not say that he is Jewish, there would seem to be two ways to interpret this: the later version is the correct one; or, the article is inconsistent with itself and thus neither version is a reliable source. By either interpretation, this source is not usable to support saying that he is Jewish in the article.
It's also worth noting that in the article's edit history, an editor says in the first person "I am not of Jewish descent." By WP rules this comment is not itself a valid source, but it's a reminder that WP:BLP should be carefully considered.--NapoliRoma (talk) 14:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC) Reply
Here's an easy solution: don't say either that he is Jewish, or that he is not, at least until/unless a 100% RS is found. For myself, I'd trust the current version of the New Jersey Jewish Standard article over the old one.
FWIW, the "I am not Jewish" edits came from user 75.104.166.162, which is hosted by WildBlue, a Satellite-based ISP. Cheers, CWC 07:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC) Reply

Birthday

In the de.wikipedia he's born *1956. In en.wikipedia he's born *1955 and below his picture his birthday is June 15, 1950 (1950年06月15日) (age 58). Who's right??! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.61.45.83 (talk) 22:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC) Reply

The German Wikipedia article says 1955, perhaps from the Stern article in the links. I do not speak German but it just says 1955. So would feel better if we cited a source for the birthdate! W Nowicki (talk) 17:12, 12 April 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Andy Bechtolsheim. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore }} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots |deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck }}).
